Some of the darker sides of science! The history of science is often inconvenient! In the name of science many terrible experiments were conducted over millennia!
Blind faith in science is wrong! Vigilance towards science is required at all times!
The current SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 pandemic also taught us a few things: E.g. despite the fact that the disease is relatively harmless and severely affects mainly only a minority of people, the elderly and the immune compromised, governments now imposes vaccinations on children and young adults, the least affected!

There were no animal or cell-culture models for studying the viral liver disease. Desperate to find the source of the outbreak and learn how to contain it, the military joined forces with biomedical researchers, including some from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, to launch human experiments that continued for decades after the war.
During the 30-year programme — meticulously chronicled in Dangerous Medicine — researchers infected more than 1,000 people, including over 150 children, with viruses that cause hepatitis. The people enrolled were prison inmates, disabled children, people with severe mental illnesses, and conscientious objectors performing community service in lieu of fighting, relates historical sociologist Sydney Halpern. ..."
